Anyone with a few thousand hours experience on an English wheel could easily form them.The Mini Coupe is a neat looking little airplane, though if I had one those square vertical tails would have to go. I wonder how a homebuilder could easily do a pair of much more Ercoupe-like round tails?
So you’re saying I better get rolling?Anyone with a few thousand hours experience on an English wheel could easily form them.

But why?Square tapered vertical fin/rudder basic structures, with rounded foam and glass tips, wold give you a much more modern look without the thousand hours of rolling metal.
I like the visual clean up! This is a neat plane from about the time I first learned you could build your own airplane. I was 6 in my friends back yard looking up at a plane overhead and my friends father said you can build a plane for yourself.Square tapered vertical fin/rudder basic structures, with rounded foam and glass tips, wold give you a much more modern look without the thousand hours of rolling metal.
Why not?Would someone please explain to me why...
Most of the time they end up with something that is completely different.Why not?
Its a lot more work to build a modified version of a proven, existing design, than to build per plans, but much less work than starting from scratch to develop a “totally hew design”.Most of the time they end up with something that is completely different.
In other words, a totally new design. So why not just start from scratch?
You mean... Rutan didn't come up with the little wing thingie in front idea????Almost every airplane in existence has adopted features of previous designs.
